Introduction

Privacy is becoming important in the networked world,
where a lot of information of varying degrees of importance is
flowing through. The exchange of information needs to be done in an
automated and controlled fashion. P3P and other standards are
expected to play a role in this information
interchange.

Business needs in this field
